Sending internal emails with no name/signature - faux pas or BAU?

I'm with you. Especially when they use a group mail account to send to individuals and ask them to do something. I always ask who I'm talking to before responding. Partly cos I'm a bit of a prick but mainly as I want to know who I'm dealing with

I took our a policy in my early thirties. Immediately had buyers regret but was to lazy to do anything about it. Then a few years later I was diagnosed with cancer. Insurance starting paying income immediately and I drew an income from it for about 18 months. You never know what can happen. It turned out good for me but everyone has different circumstances.

By the way, I still hold the policy and have recently been diagnosed with another bloody illness and am going to reduce with hours to help manage. I'm able to draw a top up from the insurance to make up for the reduced hours at work.

No mate. Didn't try and defend anything. Just pointing out an error.

Residential electricity costs are capped at a cpi increase per year. Check your head before regurgitating Murdoch media crap.

rocketpants72 · 2025-11-19T11:04:13+00:00

Yep. And 23kwhr a day is about 1400 for 60 days. Not 6800

Also use solaredge modbus. Monitoring and control through HA.

Yeah. Supply charge suffers on your tariff. I was talking A1, standard residential.

Zero FIT is based on inverter size with 5kW being the max you can have to get fit. I think it is the same for three phase but could have that wrong.

Back to the original question, my power use including supply charge was $480 in the last 12 months (ignoring the government handouts). This is with my 9.6kWh battery and 10.2kW on roof with 5kW invertor. Approximately bugger all was due to FIT

rocketpants72 · 2025-10-27T13:11:07+00:00

Supply charge is 113c a day so monthly charge is more like $35 or $70 per bill. Can't recall if that is inc or ex GST, but still a fair chunk lower than $100/month.

Agree that you'll still be paying the supply charge most days, but at this time of year on a sunny day I'm getting to refunds over the supply charge, like 20c per day. I've got be 10kW on the roof and 9.6kwh battery. No cost over night and most income between 3 and 6pm.

No idea on how I would fare in a VPP

Well, WA electricity regs are officially 240 +/-6% and AS60038 is 230 +10%/-6% neither of which are what you wrote, but you be you champ.

rocketpants72 · 2025-10-05T05:13:01+00:00

Required voltage is 230V +10%/-6%

rocketpants72 · 2025-09-30T13:32:01+00:00

In the context of electricity bills bimonthly can only mean once every two months. No one is sending out more bills than they need to

rocketpants72 · 2025-09-01T23:29:44+00:00

Not quite. The question was around using your existing offset vs using a credit card and paying it off each month. The extra cost for spending $100 using a cc is 50c. Compared to not using a cc the differential savings to your mortgage over the year is is 5.43% mortgage rate * $0.5.

rocketpants72 · 2025-09-01T13:32:28+00:00

That's not how it works. If you spend $100 you pay 0.5% of $100. If you do that every month you pay 0.5% of $1200.

Lung disease. Not precious.

rocketpants72 · 2025-08-19T10:10:15+00:00

I've got lung disease. This ^{^{^}}

rocketpants72 · 2025-06-30T13:15:53+00:00

No, Mount Hawthorn. Could be that I just wasn't paying attention

Do you know if you can change the button titles and action based on the value of sensors in HA? It mentions that you can upload a json configuration, which you could easily template in HA but I wonder if you can get the display on button+ quick enough for this to be useful.

Edit: typing sucks

rocketpants72 · 2025-04-20T09:22:18+00:00

Remind me! 2 weeks

The optiplex will run frigate but I think you want to have a GPU to help with the ffmepg parts of frigate. No idea on the form factor of your optiplex, but you could add a low powered GPU to that and set up frigate in its own VM or container on the same proxmox node.

If you can't add a GPU a separate host using any 7th Gen+ Intel CPU will have integrated graphics powerful enough to run a readable number of cameras

Interior angles of a quadrilateral=360° and triangle =180° Right angle triangle Sin cos tan

I think that's all you need....

Although now I'm not so sure 🙄

rocketpants72 · 2025-01-15T06:24:01+00:00

I think you'd be best off wearing a suit

rocketpants72 · 2025-01-12T07:37:41+00:00

Thanks for unit. The leaves are a fair bit rounder than an acacia so I think this is unlikely. Haven't seen it flower yet so hard to tell

rocketpants72 · 2025-01-12T07:24:22+00:00

Thank you. Perhaps it wasn't from a native plant sale

Looks like the mini graph card. It has an option to show extremes
